Meeting notices

• FINOS SIG Leads are responsible for observing the FINOS guidelines for running project meetings. Project maintainers can find additional resources in the FINOS Maintainers Cheatsheet.

• All participants in FINOS project meetings are subject to the LF Antitrust Policy, the FINOS Community Code of Conduct and all other FINOS policies.

• FINOS meetings involve participation by industry competitors, and it is the intention of FINOS and the Linux Foundation to conduct all of its activities in accordance with applicable antitrust and competition laws. It is therefore extremely important that attendees adhere to meeting agendas, and be aware of, and not participate in, any activities that are prohibited under applicable US state, federal or foreign antitrust and competition laws. Please contact legal@finos.org with any questions.

• FINOS SIG meetings may be recorded for use solely by the FINOS team for administration purposes. In very limited instances, and with explicit approval, recordings may be made more widely available.

Agenda

• Convene & roll call (5mins)
• Display FINOS Antitrust Policy summary slide

• Review FINOS Slack InnerSource SIG Channel - https://finos-lf.slack.com/archives/C01SYB503QT
• Contributing InnerSource SIG maturity matrix to FINOS - InnerSource Maturity Model? #12 (comment) && Format for InnerSource Maturity Matrix (and other FINOS Maturity Matrices) #29
• OSSF London Panel Retrospective. Just how awesome were we? 😄
  • Are there any leads we need to act upon?
• OSSF NYC Panel Planning. How can we expand on the success of London? 🤔
• @amaltson Hacktoberfest - I was wondering if you'd be open to having the InnerSource SIG (and maybe FINOS in general) participate in Hacktoberfest? I was hoping to add our repo, and if we can create it, the matrix repo, as participants in Hacktoberfest. All that's needed is to add the #hacktoberfest topic to the repo and it qualifies. I'm organizing an event at work to participate in Hacktoberfest and would love to devote focused time to making forward progress on some of what we've talked about 🙂
• AOB, Q&A & Adjourn (5mins)

Discussion

Maturity Matrix

• Update from James to say we can contribute under CC BY SA.
• Decided that we will contribute into the InnerSource SIG repo.
• Decided we will use doc format, with sections for each table cell (not reproduce table of current pdf).
• Decided we will use Markdown and Docusaurus.
• Action - Clare to enquire whether we can get help from ISC in conversion.
• Note that Open Source Maturity Matrix (from OSR group) also now intending to contribute under CC BY SA.

OSSF

• Great feedback from our panel sessio - format (mixed recording and live) worked really well.
• There was a proposal that we do something similar for OSSF New York event - However, unfortunately, word from the OSSF New York event organizers is that they are prioritizing in -person talks. Instead, we plan to do a sequel to the panel for a future FINOS virtual event.

Discussion re Hacktoberfest

• Re. InnerSource Matrix: Decided that we will contribute into the InnerSource SIG repo. Decided we will use doc format, with sections for each table cell (not reproduce table of current pdf). Decided we will use Markdown and Docusaurus.
• Agreed it would be great in principle - but that it is not a priority for this year for the InnerSource SIG because we are not set up due to timing and the requirement for contextual knowledge to help with the maturity matrix.
• However, if anyone in the group would like to take on getting registered and working under the Hacktoberfest banner - that would also be welcome.
• There was a note that we should have a mechanism to track future planned work items - like a plan to get involved with more notice next year.

Other

• SIG Co-lead Position still open - accepting nominations here: SIG leadership position open! #22. We hope to close this at the next SIG Meeting

• Reminder from InnerSource Commons to get signed up for the InnerSource Summit 2021 - all virtual - running November 17th & 18th.

A note on this: If we're changing the organisation of the document (away from a table format), then pandoc won't be especially helpful unless we reorg the model into a non-markdown format first (like a word doc or something).
